Defocus blur detection (DBD) separates in-focus and out-of-focus regions in an image. Previous approaches mistakenly mistook homogeneous areas in focus for defocus blur regions, likely due to not considering the internal factors that cause…

Coherent diffractive imaging is a technique that recovers the sample image by numerically inverting its diffraction pattern. We propose a generalization of this method for the inversion of multi-wavelength data. Using this approach, we show…
Although diffusion models are rising as a powerful solution for blind face restoration, they are criticized for two problems: 1) slow training and inference speed, and 2) failure in preserving identity and recovering fine-grained facial…
